STOCKTON - The American Jail Association has named Stockton resident Sharon Hall its Correctional Officer of the Year, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said. She will be recognized at the AJA's 32nd annual Conference and Jail Expo May 5-9 in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Hall has been a correctional officer with the Sheriff's Office for more than 15 years, serving in a variety of roles. Most recently, she was selected as the department's first classification program/re-entry officer, a position that requires her to assist in policy development as well as serving as a liaison among program providers, custody staff and community-based organizations. Over the past year, she has drawn praise for helping an ex-gang member with a minimal criminal history complete a General Educational Development credential before he was released from jail under California's Public Safety Realignment plan.
